PFBC DOCUMENTS INVASIVE SNAKEHEAD FISH REPRODUCTION IN LOWER SUSQUEHANNA RIVER, ADVISES ANGLERS TO REPORT AND DISPOSE OF ANY FISH CAUGHT
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) today issued a strong advisory to encourage anglers who catch invasive Northern Snakeheads in the lower Susquehanna River, and elsewhere in the Commonwealth, to report and dispose of any fish caught.
This advisory follows multiple Northern Snakehead captures in Conowingo Reservoir by anglers and natural resource agency biologists this summer, including the first evidence of Northern Snakehead reproduction in the reservoir. The PFBC and partner natural resource agencies have been conducting surveillance monitoring for Northern Snakeheads in the lower Susquehanna River since May 2020, when 21 fish passed the Conowingo Dam during fish lift operations for native migratory fish passage. While Northern Snakehead abundance currently appears to be low in Conowingo Reservoir, documentation of reproduction is concerning.
